How to create a PostgreSQL database

New Course Coming Soon:

Get Really Good at Git

When you have PostgreSQL installed you can create a new database by opening the console with:

psql postgres

and then running the command CREATE DATABASE:

CREATE DATABASE databasename;

Don’t forget the semicolon ;

You’ll then see the newly created database by running the \l command.

Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to you all the time? Git is something we all need to use, but few of us really master it. I created this course to improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with Git. Launching May 21, 2024. Join the waiting list!
